The Performance Tracker will rate your play in over 50 categories, to make sure you know what parts of your game need to improve. Start your career off in the ranks of the AHL and become one of the best in the NHL. Your very own hockey card will mark your progress, from your rookie beginnings to a potentially legendary ending

* NHL 94 Controls - Hit, pass, shoot, and score using the simplified two-button control system featured in NHL 94. So even if you're new to the game, you can challenge the best of the best
* One-handed Dekes - When you are skating in on a breakaway, tap the puck to one hand and tuck the puck behind a sprawling goalie for the ultimate finish

Customer Reviews

Great fun!
This is great game, but had problems with the disc and had to return it. The graphics and colors are so real and you feel like you are at a live game. Bought another one and has been working fine. I would recommend this if you are a hockey fan.

Better than I could have imagined, one of the best games I have ever played
I have played and enjoyed most sports games for years now...Madden, MLB, NBA, NHL...but this game is above and beyond that. The graphics, the gameplay, the sounds (eerily good...my wife has repeatedly thought I was watching a game while playing)... this game is the entire package. And the Play As a Pro mode is great fun. The skills and responsibilities change dramatically for different types of players. And the AI keeps things tight.
Seriously, if you are on the fence...just buy it. You'll dig it.

NHL 09 best sports game of the year
NHL 09 is the best sports game on the market right now. Everything they have done with the game from game play to the new dangle stick is amazing. The graphics are great and it is the best hockey game ever made.
